1. BACKGROUND

1.1. Context

The human rights situation in Nicaragua has deteriorated as observed by the Inter American Commission

on Human Rights (IACHR) in relation to the violent events that have been taking place since the State

repressed the protests on April 18, 2018, and subsequent events over the following weeks. According to

figures gathered by the IACHR, the State’s repressive action has led to at least 295 deaths, 1,337 persons

wounded as of June 19, and 507 persons deprived of liberty as of June 6, and hundreds of persons at risk of

becoming victims of attacks, harassment, threats and other forms of intimidation. The Nicaraguan

Association for Human Rights (ANPDH)) in its report as of July 26 indicates that there are 448 deaths (383

were civilians, 40 paramilitaries, 24 polices and a soldier) 2,720 injured and 718 kidnapped.

Police and paramilitary forces continue their raids in a house-to-house search, arresting people who

participated in the protests. Based on the new antiterrorist law, many of them appear in court without any

legal defense. The Permanent Commission of Human Rights (CPDH) informed to receive every day at least

20 complaints of people arrested by police or by irregular armed groups. Costa Rica has opened two shelters

for people fleeing the crisis in Nicaragua and asylum seekers, with a capacity for about 2000 people, one in

the north and one in the south of the country, with support from IOM and UNHCR. Authorities report

between 100 to 150 Nicaraguans entering daily to Costa Rica for the first time. The Dutch cooperation

announced its decision to suspend for two months any cooperation with the government of Nicaragua, due

to serious human rights violations.

During August 28-29, a delegation of the World Council of Churches and ACT Alliance visited Nicaragua with

the intention to listen to the experiences of people in churches, civil society, the Catholic Bishops'

Conference of Nicaragua, the government and with members of the ACT Alliance Nicaragua forum, to

reaffirm and strengthen calls for justice and peace, and to advocate for the human rights of all people and

respect for diverse ways of thinking in contemporary societies

1.2. Needs

According to the Special Monitoring Mechanism for Nicaragua (MESENI), the Inter-American Commission

on Human Rights (IACHR) alerts about the ongoing stigmatization and criminalization of social protest on

unjustified and disproportionate grounds; serious problems of access to legal defense and due process;

and violations of the rights of persons deprived of liberty and their families. There is an adverse

environment for social protest, through a strategy of criminalization and stigmatization. This entails the

use of declarations, Statements, and official announcements that intend to suggest that life is continuing

as normal in the country while simultaneously stigmatizing demonstrators, dissidents, and social leaders

and human rights defenders.

The Costa Rican Foreign Ministry calls for international assistance to address an upcoming migration crisis

in the country. The ACT Alliance Costa Rica Forum has determined a series of needs derived from the

migratory crisis that begins to be dimensioned, being necessary to provide attention in temporary

settlements (shelter), legal support on migratory procedures and psychosocial support.


1.3. Capacity to respond

The ACT Forum members in Nicaragua run long-term development programs in the geographical zones

included in the proposal. It is important to mention that the forum has responded to previous emergencies

and has experience in advocacy and peacebuilding processes. The organizations have experience and

existing relationships with the communities, which are directly affected by the conflict in the country.

The Costa Rican Lutheran Church has been executing several responses to disasters; the most recently is a

RRF 09-2016 in response to Hurricane Otto and the Appeal CRC 171 Tropical Storm Nate, currently in

execution. ILCO is the ACT forum coordinator in Costa Rica. In addition, over the last 15 years ILCO have a

Diaconate Migrant Ministry, in which Nicaraguans are provided with legal services.

2. PROJECT RATIONALE

2.1. Intervention strategy and theory of change

Peacebuilding

The crisis and a worsening humanitarian situation in Nicaragua have had devastating consequences on the

population as a whole, with differentiated impact on men, women, boys and girls. Shaped by different gender

roles and responsibilities. Peacebuilding encompasses activities that seek to reduce the risk of violent

conflict. This proposal aim to carry out measures to reduce the risk of lapsing into violence by strengthening

capacities for conflict management, and to lay the foundations for sustainable peace and development. This

process will be carried out in close coordination with Pastoral Committees. A Core group will be conformed

and trained; each of them will provide close assistance and training at local level. A need assessment will be

carried out in order to select the target group and the strengthening of capacities required.

Psychosocial Support

for the direct affected population and their families, including different psychosocial activities, counseling

and referrals. The desired change is that the affected population and their families become more resilient

and can develop psychosocial coping strategies to overcome the previous bad experience and be able to deal

with future incidents.

Temporary shelter and legal accompaniment.

The Lutheran Church from Costa Rica (ILCO) will provide temporary shelter and legal assistance to

Nicaraguans displaced to Costa Rica due to the crisis. Psychosocial assistance will be provided as well. These

will also help them deal with the trauma from the violence and separation from their families and friends

and their homes. The legal assistance will allow them to obtain a refugee status and they will be able to

access government support and increase their awareness on their rights.

2.2. Impact

Provide access to protection and psychosocial support to people affected by the conflict in Nicaragua, as well

as temporary shelter to Nicaraguans displaced to Costa Rica, leading to improvement in their living conditions,

ensuring restoration of a dignified life and harmonious co-existence.


2.3. Outcomes

A. Individuals affected by the crisis are provided with protection services and psychosocial support. B. Community and faith based leadership are empowered to effectively participate in peace building

and conflict transformation processes. C. Nicaraguans displaced have access to emergency shelter and supportive legal services in Costa Rica.

2.4. Outputs

A. Individuals have support to rebuild their social networks and increase their coping mechanisms in a participatory way and in a process that will improve the psychosocial well-being of the community.

B. Community safety nets and networks established to promote peace and reconciliation

C. Individuals obtain emergency shelter on a temporary basis, and supportive legal services to obtain a refugee status.

2.5. Preconditions / Assumptions

Violence decreases in communities, and direct project participants have greater security to develop their activities.

Staff are able to reach project sites.

No further deterioration of socio-political situation.

Local stakeholders are supportive, responding and participating in the project.

Government authorities allow the implementation of proposed activities

Staff continue to have access to project catchment areas to carry out planned activities; access to affected persons is not interrupted (road travel is smooth, travel within the country is not restricted).

No major emergency occurs.

Funds for the Project are received on time in order for project implementation to meet its fixed deadlines.

2.6. Risk Analysis

The following risks were reviewed while designing the interventions for this appeal:

Further deterioration of the current socio-political situation resulting in a full-fledged escalation of the situation, including violence in the country. Re-installation of roadblocks or other types of protests that block the mobilization and safety of personnel. A mitigation measurement is to not confront, be tolerant and get away from the point of conflict.

Deterioration of the security situation in Nicaragua, this put the project staff in some kind of threat or damage to physical integrity. For this, we have communication points to report on these incidents and take the respective decisions, prevailing the lives of the people, providing institutional identification at a personal and vehicle or equipment level.

2.7. Sustainability / Exit strategy

The local peacebuilding proposal through trainings in the targeted municipalities will allow the participants to

improve local skills and knowledge beyond the lifetime of the project. Additionally, the implementing

organizations have local knowledge and connections means that the forum have strong relationships in targeted

areas. This makes it possible to involve them in the full project cycle to ensure commitment to the project

objectives. Moreover, coordination with municipalities, primary health centres, and other local stakeholders is

done throughout the project and when needed. The project aims to provide support to displaced Nicaraguans


in Costa Rica, so they can be able to have a legal status, which will allow them to establish in Costa Rica with

better opportunities to apply for job opportunities with the correspondent rights.

2.8. Building capacity of national members

The project included and budgeted activities for capacity building at forum level including thematic such as do

no harm approach and Core Humanitarian Standard (CHS), also for updating the Emergency Preparedness and

Response Plans (EPRP).

3. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

Does the proposed response honour ACT’s commitment to Child Safeguarding?

☒ Yes ☐ No

LWF staff and the Implementing organizations are committed to child safeguarding in project interventions.

Child safeguarding and prevention of child abuse will be prevented through providing

awareness sessions, distributing brochures and booklets to the participants in the different sessions

The ingoing staff have will sign ACT Alliance Code of Conduct and will explicitly sign to the Child Safeguarding

policy.

3.1. ACT Code of Conduct

The ACT Alliance Forums from Nicaragua and Costa Rica have adhered to ACT Alliance Code of Conduct. Any

violation of this code will be sanctioned by immediate resigning of the perpetrator from duties and if applicable

referred to legal prosecution. A session to share the code of conduct with beneficiaries will be carried out as well.

The ACT Code of Conduct will be a mandatory document to be signed by the staff, consultants, and volunteers.

The beneficiaries will be also oriented in the main values of the Code of Conduct with special focus on prevention

of (sexual) exploitation and abuse; accordingly, the complaints mechanisms will be in place as described in

section 5. There are mechanisms for complaints and accountability. Posters and informational brochures will be

used to increase awareness of the Code of Conduct.

3.2. Implementation Approach

The design of the project takes into consideration the lessons learned from previous experiences, more

specifically, the best practices in community-based psychosocial support through local solutions. The

organizations with participation in this proposal will meet regularly in order to share how is the project

implementation is developing in the different zones, while the project team will take the lead on the

implementation of the project. A Steering Committee will be formed, it will be responsible for guiding

implementation and supporting beneficiary complaints and feedback mechanisms.

3.3. Project Stakeholders

Beneficiaries, communities, local authorities, ACT members, implementing partners, humanitarian workers other

NGOs, local authorities, faith-based leadership and churches are considered as key stakeholders. The project

design fits the humanitarian principles and needs. The project will encourage local authorities and communities

who have interest to be a part of the project and make decisions based on their knowledge about area, and

affected people. Information regarding selection/targeting criteria, complaints/feedback mechanism will be

shared with them. Pastors and community-based psychosocial care groups will participate voluntarily,


committing themselves to attend the training workshops and attend to the people affected by the crisis, signing

a letter of commitment.

3.4. Field Coordination

The implementing organizations in Nicaragua will coordinate efforts with entities such as the Local Cabinets

through the Ministries of the Family and Health to guide actions in Psychosocial attention as well as with local

government bodies in the zone in order to develop the mutual collaboration.

The Costa Rican Lutheran Church has been working with other organizations to provide immediate assistance to

migrants, including the Nicaraguan Migrants Association, the Jesuit Service and dialogue with other entities such

as UNHCR and, within the REDNAM, which is a Migrant National Network.

3.5. Project Management

Lutheran World Federation will be responsible for the overall implementation of the appeal. Regular meetings

will be carried out, in order to share information concerning progress in the implementation process. The

monitoring and evaluation will include regular visits to follow up on the achievement of results, and preparation

of quarterly situation reports. Feedback or opinion from beneficiaries and other stakeholders will be collected

throughout the implementation of the project, monthly coordination meetings will be carried with the

participation of the participating organizations, in order to share how the feedback is being taken into account

within the project. A final report will be submitted following the guidelines provided by ACT. CEPAD as forum

coordinator will invite to monthly meeting to take decision related to the project execution, share experiences

and solve problems, and will help to keep the unity and collaboration between the members. This include ILCO.

These activities will be coordinated and monitored through a coordinator hired by the project in Nicaragua and

Costa Rica.

3.6. Implementing Partners

CEPAD, ILFE, CIEETS, ILCO and LWF have a lot of experience in Psychosocial attention based in the community.

CEPAD have been working for 46 years in development, emergency response and peace and reconciliation

process. CIEETS and CEPAD designed a training module in psychosocial support, which will be used for the training

process in this proposal. The Costa Rican Lutheran Church (ILCO) is a REDNAM1, this is a network that brings

together 4 organizations including the Jesuit Service. It is also part of the Coordinated Bureau of Migration led by

the Ministry of Interior and immigration, is composed of 20 organizations. This coordination’s spaces will allow

ILCO to identify migrants in need of support, as well as ACT Forum organizations Faith based, will work to promote

a Culture of Peace to unify, reconcile and restore opposing families from the local in communities affected by

the conflict. Pastors and community leaders participate actively in peace building and conflict management

processes, and psychosocial groups based in the community, will be trained to support vulnerable groups

affected by the conflict.

1National Network for Migration


3.7. Project Advocacy

The ACT Forum in Nicaragua in collaboration with the Evangelical University, Martin Luther King hosted a visit from WCC and ACT Alliance, in which the delegation was able to hold strategic encounters with Government representatives, Episcopal Conference from the Catholic Church, Civil Society representatives and the ACT Forum in Nicaragua. The ACT Forum will focus efforts aim at empowering disadvantaged groups seeking justice, equality, and upholding rights. Key messages will be shared regarding the response.

4. PROJECT MONITORING

4.1. Project Monitoring

The LWF will be in close monitoring of the project. There will be a project coordinator who will be responsible for tracking the performance and ensuring that the targets and results are met and reported against. The coordinator will facilitate monitoring tools to the implementing organizations in order to assure that the methodology applied are properly focused properly. Due to the nature of the proposal, the testimonies and life stories will be important to consider in the monitoring and reporting. LWF and the implementing organizations will perform monthly meeting to follow up, measure the advance on the project indicator, and identify challenges in the process, in order to make adjustments if necessary. The monitoring plan also includes the preparation of SITREPS on quarterly basis.

4.2. Safety and Security plans

There has been a prolonged period of political unrest and street violence in many areas in Nicaragua since mid-April 2018. This has involved the use of tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition, resulting in many serious injuries and over 300 deaths. Some marches and demonstrations continue to occur. While most are now peaceful, the situation remains volatile and there is the potential for further violence and disorder at any time. The Staff will implement the LWF Safety and Security Policy, Safety and Security Handbook and the Country Safety and Security Plan. The Safety and Security is monitored by the LWF in coordination with the forum members and partners.

4.3. Knowledge Management

The Knowledge Management will be carried out by the systematic review and registry of best practices and

lessons learned. It will be shared with other interested parties that will have similar responses in different

coordination spaces. There will be feedback with the communities. Additionally, there will be a workshop with

ACT members.

5. PROJECT ACCOUNTABILITY

5.1. Conflict sensitivity / do no harm

For this proposal implementation, a close coordination will be established with the participants and referent

groups, to eliminate and minimize possible short and long-term harm, taking into consideration the code of

conduct principles. The LWF’s work is guided by the long-standing international recognition. LWF is following

its Emergency Manual and the Guidelines On Rights-Based Empowerment. To avoid conflicts the project will

be implemented in in close coordination with local governments and local leadership. As major stakeholders

and influencers, there will always be a risk of conflict. To minimize this risk, the project implementation teams

will consult with interested parties respecting the opinions of the people in the community and carry out the

necessary controls.


5.2. Complaints mechanism + feedback

LWF will play a facilitator role while ensuring technical inputs and intervene as and when needed. Through

this process, LWF in coordination with the implementing organizations will make sure that the participants

groups are involved in all the phases of the project ensuring accountability and transparency. Any potential

complaints would be duly addressed through a complaint mechanism, which will be put in place and clearly

communicated to right holders, LWF and the Implementing organizations will ensure that, there will be

Complaints Response Mechanism (CRM) being placed at the project operational areas.

5.3. Communication and visibility

The participant’s organizations would ensure that the necessary communication and visibility of the project

is done. CEPAD, CIEETS and ILCO has an effective communication team which would update on the progress

of the response and ensure substantial visibility of ACT Alliance is also there. The internal communication

would ensure an effective information flow within the organization and beyond the organization in terms of

reach and values addition in the coordination mechanism and the government systems. The project

coordinator will share necessary information related to the appeal. Visibility will be made through banners,

posters with co-branding of ACT Alliance logo to communicate about emergency response being undertaken

by LWF, CEPAD, CIEETS, ILCO and ILFE, with support from ACT Alliance. Wherever feasible, case stories from

the right holders will be developed from within the affected households highlighting the outcome of

program intervention being made through this emergency response.
